Abstract
This paper explores the profound impact of globalization and rapid technological advancements on the evolving landscape of medical liability. It examines how increased patient mobility, cross-border healthcare, and the integration of technologies like telemedicine, artificial intelligence, and big data are reshaping the doctor-patient relationship and creating new legal and ethical challenges. The analysis delves into the complexities of jurisdiction, informed consent, data protection, and the division of responsibility in this new era of medicine. Furthermore, it discusses the need for adaptive legal frameworks, international cooperation, and continuous ethical reflection to ensure patient safety, uphold medical professional standards, and promote equitable access to healthcare in a globalized and technologically driven world.
